Ned Sykes from Preoccupied Pipers edited that together from hours of tedious iPhone & digital camera video that we took in England back in May. Amazing skills that guy has. I had to watch it several times to pick out all the little subliminal details.

And here's the latest Single-Of-The-Month:

Part two

We also have to work more hours and work harder to pay for all the stuff we didn't have to pay for 20 years ago. Our iPads, iPhones, iPods, laptops, Kindles, Wi-Fi, Cell Phone service, daily $5 coffee (used to just pour it from the pot of free coffee at work), $2 bottles of water (used to use the water cooler), Netflix subscriptions, Flickr subscriptions, On Demand Movie Rentals, Mobile Movie Rentals, iTunes, Amazon.com, sattellite radio, and satellite tv, HD Cable TV, RedBox(TV used to be four or five free channels). You know; all the technology we use to keep life "simple" and "easier." I looked at my console in my van the other day and realzied that 20 years ago I might have had a radio with a cassette deck and five or six cassettes with me. Today? I had my car radio, satellite radio, my iPod, my personal cellphone/mp3/internet/PDA, CD player, and my work issued direct connect phone. And i use them all over and over all day long.

It's time to go back to the Ox and the plow, analog television with 3 channels, the World Book Encyclopedia, note pads, the abacus, paying bills through snail mail. Hard work was much simpler than all this technology that has consumed life and made my it more difficult. Robots are overrated. Let's become Amish.

I still drink the free coffee & water at work, never pay for any cable or movies (my Netflix subscription was a birthday present), still have a cassette player in my car & our utility bill is rarely over $40 a month. Aside from computer usage, I'm pretty Amish. I use a clothesline, don't drive a car to work, have chickens & food plants in my yard, prefer to buy only used clothes with no labels or logos, fix things when they're broken, sew, cook, & sometimes I grow a beard. The way I see it, hard work can be fun & fulfilling if it's done directly in the service of obtaining food, shelter, or other survival necessities. When it involves being away from home for 8 hours every day to make money for someone else, it's kind of a drag.
